As a police communicator, you'll be the first point of contact for members of the public when they call police. You will assist in non-emergency situations, completing reports of historic crime where police attendance isn't required immediately. You will also be providing the public with information or connecting them to the right people. That's why we're looking for people with excellent communication skills, who are keen to make a difference.

You'll thrive in this role if you are:

Resilient – you'll have a cool head when the pressure is on

A great listener and problem solver able to think on your feet

An excellent communicator and empathetic, but not a counsellor

Tech savvy

Positive – care about making a difference and keeping communities safe.

This is not your average customer service role. Every call is different, so you need to be able to think on your feet and deal with anything that comes your way. There may even be times you'll need to deal with critical events or emergency situations.
